in Iraq, 31 people dying from terrorist acts would be considered a good day.

I do not want to minimize the horror of what has happened at Virginia Tech. I only want to point out the far greater horror that is the United States' continued occupation of Iraq. We are shocked by one instance on one day where 31 innocents were killed. In the Iraq we have created, dozens of innocents die every single day. Multiply the Virginia Tech tragedy by 365, then you will have a clue what we have done to that country.
